Clean Architecture with .NET

Understand what to do at any point in developing a clean .NET architecture. Master advanced .NET techniques with a focus on delivering actual value through a modular, clean architecture. Microsoft Data Platform MVP Dino Esposito explains key clean architecture concepts with a mix of pragmatism and design discipline, helping you solidify your knowledge through a real-world project.

Starting with an explanation of the quest for modular software architecture and continuing through the methodology of domain-driven design (DDD), Esposito emphasizes the role that modularization plays in managing complexity in software development. Breaking down the layers of a modular and maintainable architecture, he presents a sample project that is not simply another to-do list but an actual tool for the reader. Ultimately, he explores common dilemmas for both developers and operations by connecting historical developments with real solutions for today.
